I am opposed to regulation #22-08.
I should be about to make my own decisions about my investments, not regulators. I can read & understand the notices that are provided when I choose an investment and should not be required to take a test to prove it.
I use inverse funds as well as other instruments and it will be detrimental to my portfolio if I am unable to use them.
I ask that
There is no need for this regulatory idea. Leveraged and inverse funds are not hard to understand. You buy them with the known factor that the risk can be accentuated. Fine, do your homework and learn. Do not penalize those of us that do. I had a leveraged S&P 500 fund for well over a year and did quite nicely by it. You do have to monitor leveraged and inverse funds. .
I have been investing for the last 45 years. My father and grandfather and many family members invest on their own. We all have done well. None of us were rich to begin with, but OUR OWN PERSONAL CHOICES AND DECISIONS have sure helped us to achieve a retirement we are happy with. I DO NOT SUPPORT RESTRICTIONS ON HOW I OR ANYONE ELSE CHOOSES TO INVEST.
Investing should not be controlled by hedge funds, fund managers, and the ultra wealthy. It should be free and accessible to all. Taking away citizens small rights little by little never ends well for the government. Don't limit investing ability to net worth. Information, tools, classes, and all sorts of material are more than readily available for individuals to consume and make their own
Shouldn't we know exactly where each share of a company is located? If traders are loaning their borrowed shares, we should know that as well, otherwise, we are building a house of cards.
Why would you even think about taking away our ability to trade inverse funds. Once again the government is insinuating we are too stupid to know when and where to trade the funds. I dont need you micro managing my finances. Leave well enough alone. I would also like a response on this. Greg Watson [REDACTED]. Thank you.
There's absolutely no reason to put restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. All investments carry risk, and those risks in this instance are NOT somehow hidden from the investor. If you start implementing restrictions, where does it end? Because the very same argument for them here, can be used elsewhere as well. Please do not take investing down that dead end road.
I would expect firms, banks, funds, institutions to have to disclose short positions as well as naked short interest as it directly affects company stock value which affects investor's investments. Make it a rule and enforce it.
Dear Person, I feel like I can make money by investing in ETFs and perhaps other people as well. I think that wealthy people have a means of using money to make very profitable investments that are not available to little people--a little person is one that pays taxes. So please do not take away the opportunity of little people to make money buy restricting ETF products.
I should have the ability to invest in leveraged ETFs. I have done the research and understand the risks involved. I use leveraged ETFs when the market goes down and buy in small increments and sell when the market rises. I have done quite well over the past few years investing using this methodology. I believe the individual investors not regulators should be able to determine to invest
